Mario Götze: "I'm not done with Europe yet" - second division team thinks out loud about the world champion
Update from August 19: Ex-BVB star Mario Götze is still looking for a club . Now even a second division team is interested in the Memmingen native. After Inter Miami, St. Louis City SC is now also to prepare an offer for the offensive all-rounder. The former sports director of Fortuna Düsseldorf Lutz Pfannenstiel recently became sports director of the American second division.
From 2023 the club from Missouri will start in the first division MLS , by then globetrotters Pfannenstiel should have a powerful team up and running. The 47-year-old wants to find “a good mix between his own talents, experienced MLS players, but also international influence ” and thinks directly of Götze. "Of course we will also have players like Götze on our screen to see what fits best," Pfannenstiel told Spox. It is unlikely that Götze will get involved in this deal. Most recently, the world champion even turned down a mega offer (see below).
Meanwhile, Götze showed his ball skills on Instagram and shows that he can still do it.

Mario Götze: Where is the former Dortmund star going?
First report from August 12th: Dortmund - Mario Götze has been without a contract since the end of June and has still not found a new club. The World Cup hero was one of the top earners at Borussia Dortmund * and after his epidemic season is difficult to find a place at a club of international stature. Especially since the clubs are doomed to save in Corona times.
The demands of the Götzes are still very high. The 28-year-old only changed consultants at the beginning of the year so that he could soon find a lucrative job in one of the world's cities . The new man at Götze's side is called Reza Fazeli and also has Emre Can, Nuri Sahin and Lucien Favre under his wing.
Götze has other things on his mind than football
Mario Götze enjoys his free time from football and can take care of his newborn son Rome . * The ex-BVB star posts pictures and videos that show him cuddling with the youngsters or how he spends the summer in Germany. Like a baby is worth more than a contract.

The Rio hero doesn't have to stress either, because the transfer window doesn't end until the beginning of October . Most recently, Götze was associated with clubs from southern Europe , including the Italian clubs from Rome and Florence. Monaco, the new club of ex-FCB coach Niko Kovac and FC Sevilla, which competes in the final tournament of the Europa League in North Rhine-Westphalia tonight, were also mentioned. But now a trace could get really hot .
Mario Götze: David Beckham with a crazy offer
Glamor boy David Beckham is an investor in the US MLS club Inter Miami and, according to the picture, wanted to pep up his newly assembled troop with ex-world champion Mario Götze. Former advisor Götzes Prof. Dr. Peter Duvinage received a request from Miami in Munich, who forwarded it to Götze.
But the former international did not see the time for a US adventure yet and canceled. Despite a possible annual salary of seven million US dollars , Götze prefers to stay in Europe. But who knows, maybe Beckham will let his charm play out and convince Götzes after all of the idea. Beckham and Götze at a club, that would fit, and the wives Victoria and Ann-Kathrin would certainly get along very well in Miami. (ck) * tz.de is part of the Ippen-Digital network
